Ray Allen may not have played an NBA game since 2014, but his retirement didn't become official until today. Following a few years of contemplating a comeback, Sugar Ray is calling it quits after 18 seasons with claim to two NBA Championships and the most three-pointers ever hit.  

Allen played for four NBA teams—the Milwaukee Bucks, Seattle Supersonics, Boston Celtics, and Miami Heat, but he'll also be remembered for another team. Allen was as a founding member of Team Jordan. Along with each uniform change, he received the best Jordan Brand had to offer, from retros to the newest flagship sneakers. Among collectors, these PEs have become some of the most sought-after of all Air Jordans. 

You'll see some familiar pairs on this list, along with some that might leave you scratching your head—like the Jordan TGIM, for example. While it might not be as popular as the retros, its historical significance as Allen's first championship shoe made it one that couldn't be overlooked. Others may not have had a particularly memorable on-court moment associated with them, but were notable simply based on rarity or aesthetic. In celebration of his retirement announcement, here are Ray Allen's 40 best Air Jordan player exclusives.
